Checking our server logs for 2006, we find that our second-most read post on this blog in 2006 has been iPod podcast menus, navigation depicted in new Apple patent app.

This one caused quite a stir. In fact, it was our #1 most commented-on post this year.

Even just a cursory review of your comments reveals why this post drew so much attention. Many of you readers could not understand why this was news. I said that well, Apple - obviously taking note of the U.S. Patent landscape- felt the need to patent this. If Apple thinks this is important, it probably is, and we are just passing along the news.

Thank You
